I wrote about the unprecedented mass censorship and surveillance laws that Congress is trying to ram through in the name of “protecting kids” and how none of this is about protecting kids. In fact, these laws cause great harm to all of us, for Zeteo zeteo.com/p/social-media-child

Social Media Bans Aren’t About Protecting Kids. They’re About Censorship and Surveillance

US politicians want to replicate Australia's draconian law prohibiting children under 16 from using social media. But experts say such bans will actually make kids 'significantly less safe online.'

Fedi MTV is coming... This Xmas! Fuck yeah.

"It’s late capitalism, and artists have nowhere to go. Where’s left? Where can people discover new, risk-taking art? ...

We need a real human place for real human video art. So, we made one."

Why must we FIGHT? Because inaction effectively sides with those causing harm:

"Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant" -Elie Wiesel

"If you're neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor" -Desmond Tutu

The UK Online Safety Act returns to Parliament.

It's enabled iffy age-assurance providers, wrongly censored content and shuttered small sites while doing nothing to tackle the dominance of major platforms.

The heartbreaking abuse of “law and order” continues. It’s unbelieveable how these ICE agents are “detaining” people despite TRYING to go through the kafkaesque nightmare they devised.

All I can say is if you’re a US Citizen, remember we’re all humans, and don’t vote for facists.

And if you’re not, don’t visit. Seriously, don’t even think about it. mastodon.social/@obrhoff/11571

There is a lot of criticism in Germany directed at privacy protection, known as Datenschutz. The idea behind it developed after World War Two, when the Nazis used centrally stored administrative data to identify and round up political enemies, including Jews. Now compare this to the United States, where this historical experience is not the same. Authorities there more readily access large amounts of data to determine who is considered an enemy. #facism #maga #ww2 https://www.newsweek.com/wife-detained-green-card-interview-ice-san-diego-11176819

나는 솔직히 올해 잘 풀린게 많아서 안도감을 느끼고 있다.

다만, 올해 잘 풀렸어도 아직은 내가 영리사업을 하지는 못하는건 많이 아쉬운 부분이긴 하다.

그동안 날 짓누르던 채무를 털었기 때문에 필수 항목에 대해선 자력 투자가 가능해진 것일 뿐.

조직에 소속되어 있는 상태이기도하고, 독립한다고 해서 수익낼 자신도 없고해서 아직은 결과물을 무료로 푸는 활동에 전적으로 의존하고 있음.

언젠가는 나도 영리사업을 할 수 있으리라 기대만 하고 있음.

I'm going to keep calling out companies that offer to pay me to repost stuff on my site. Especially the AI-backed ones, which seem unusually aggressive in this PR tactic. Who knows, maybe they'll stop sending them to me at least (not holding my breath).

Hi Brian, I'm reaching out with Adaptive Security, OpenAl's first cyber investment. We protect companies from deepfake threats with next-generation security awareness training. We have a major announcement coming next Tuesday. | came across your profile and thought you'd be a great fit for a sponsored post supporting the news. We're happy to start at $1000 for a single post. Our marketing team can provide you a content draft, so all you'll have to do is copy and paste :) Let me know if you're up for it - we are finalizing our sponsored community soon. Cheers,
